ITV Coronation Street’s Charlotte Jordan says new soap twist is a ‘real shock’ for Daisy

Coronation Street’s Charlotte Jordan has said an upcoming soap twist will leave her character Daisy Midgeley in shock.

Soap fans will recall that character Ryan Connor left for Glasgow last year for a new life with love interest Crystal, after his fling with Daisy Midgeley was exposed resulting in a showdown with her partner Daniel Osbourne. Daisy and Daniel have since split, with him reuniting with his ex, and Ryan’s ex, Bethany Platt.

However, in upcoming scenes, Ryan will be back and his return leaves Daisy gobsmacked. In spoilers for next week, Daisy finds herself in an explosive row with ex Daniel and his new love interest Bethany. Soap fans will recall that Bethany was recently exposed for writing an article about Daniel, Daisy and Ryan’s love triangle with Chit-Chat magazine refusing to pull the article.

And next week will see Daisy learn about the incriminating article. Prior to the bombshell, Daisy confides in Glenda Shuttleworth that there’s still a spark between her and Daniel, hoping that they can get back together. Later, with Rita Tanner’s birthday party in full swing in the Rovers, Mary Taylor receives a message and accidentally airdrops it to everyone in the pub. Daisy is left stunned to read “I had a Torrid Affair with my Acid Attack Hero”.

Later in the week, Daniel apologises to Daisy for failing to warn her about the article but she doesn’t want to hear it and instead files a complaint to Chit-Chat magazine. Things go from bad to worse when a fuming Bethany learns she has been sacked because of Daisy’s complaint. Later, Bethany confronts Daisy and accuses her of sabotaging her career.

It’s not long until Daniel gets involved and as the row escalates, Daisy reveals that Daniel’s pupil Lauren Bolton blackmailed her and Ryan over their affair and only asked Daniel to tutor her so she could increase the pressure, which leaves Daniel reeling. Later, Daisy sulks at home but it’s not long until Jenny reveals she’s got a visitor and the character is left gobsmacked to see Ryan.

Teasing the upcoming scenes Daisy star Charlotte, 28, said: “Daisy fully assumes that Ryan is living his best life in Glasgow and is happy with Crystal so I think this will be a real shock to her system. Daisy feels really isolated, especially from Daniel with Bethany coming back, so losing Ryan to Crystal also left her even more isolated. I definitely think Ryan will be welcomed back into Daisy’s life with open arms.”

It remains to be seen how long Ryan is returning for and if he’s still with Crystal but Charlotte would like to see Daisy and Ryan become a couple. The actress said: “I don’t know how healthy it is but I do think they need to make a go of it so that they can come to the realisation that it may not be that healthy, or maybe it will! So yeah, I would like to see them give it a go and see what happens.”
